An unvaccinated child died of measles in the Texas outbreak. Measles kills 1 in every 1,000 people in developed nations, more where healthcare is scarce. The measles vaccine has never caused a death. It ALSO prevents deaths from measles. Anti-vaccine lies are killing children. 1/

I recently had to have an exorcism performed on my house but I couldn't afford to pay the bill, so they came back and repossessed my home.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.

Trump and Elon Musk all but dismantled USAID. It took them less than a month. It's an unprecedented test of the checks and balances at the heart of the American system of government. The must-read inside story, from @annamaria.bsky.social and Brett Murphy. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure. Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void. This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.
